The monetization strategy employed by Gamesforgames is criticized as unethical and exploitative, characterized by the rapid release of low-quality, asset-flipped games that capitalize on the enthusiasm of players, particularly in the zombie genre. These games are often accompanied by fake reviews and are perceived as shameless cash grabs that provide little value to consumers.

“Gamesforgames has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
